Family Based Greencard

I am a Legal Perm Resident. It took 4 years for my green card to be granted. I applied for my son's last year. The process was just amazing. I submitted the paperwork in the November, he got his biometrics in December, his work authorization arrived in March followed very quickly by his green card. No interview necessary.

What happened next was a nightmare though. I had sent in my daughter's application with his medical examination paperwork. Her paperwork was "never received". Anyway we had a falling out and she left to go back to UK earlier this year. She'd overstayed on the Visa Waiver program by 5 months. Both me and my daughter decided that it would be better if she came back to US to live with me again. I purchased her a ticket (she's 16 by the way) and she flew out to Philadephia. I received a phone call at 1pm Arizona time from the Customs & Border Protection officers. Asking me if my daughter had a green card. I told them the paperwork had been submitted. She wasn't in the system, she'd violated the visa waiver program, therefore she was being denied entry. They put her on a flight back to the UK that same night.

Anyway,now I'm going to apply for a visa again while she's in the UK. It's strange how one can go so easy, but the other is so messed up.
